A sensor capable of detecting light, hydrogen gas, and air pressure includes a metal oxide film produced by a process including the steps of: (a) forming an organic film by using a primer composition containing (i) an addition polymerizable compound including three or more reactive groups, (ii) an addition polymerizable compound including an acid group, and (iii) an addition polymerizable compound including a hydrophilic functional group; (b) forming a metal (M1) salt from the acid group; (c) substituting the metal (M1) salt of the acid group with a metal (M2) salt by treating the organic film with a metal (M2) ion aqueous solution; (d) reducing the metal (M2) ion so that a metal film is formed on a surface of the organic film; and (e) oxidizing the metal film.

Sensor provided with metal oxide film and use thereof

An object detecting actuator and an object detecting switch with increased durability. The actuator in one embodiment includes a roller that receives a load of an external force; and a roller lever to which the roller is rotatably attached by means of a rotary shaft, the actuator being a displacement member that is displaced in accordance with the load of the force received by the roller, wherein the roller is constituted by a sintered body of stainless steel material impregnated with lubricating oil, and a density of the sintered body of stainless steel material is in a range of 6.45 to 6.7 g/cm.

Object detecting actuator and object detecting switch

A half mirror has a shape on a substrate and excels in appearance and design and is fabricated by a method. The method includes forming an organic film by applying, onto a transparent substrate or film, a primer composition containing an addition-polymerizable compound having three or more reactive groups, an addition-polymerizable compound having an acidic group, and an addition-polymerizable compound having a hydrophilic functional group, and polymerizing the primer composition. The method includes turning the acidic group into a metal (M1) salt by treating the organic film with an aqueous solution containing metal (M1) ions, and turning the metal (M1) salt into a metal (M2) salt by treating the organic film with a metal (M2) ion aqueous solution containing metal (M2) ions that are lower in ionization tendency than metal (M1) ions, and (d) reducing metal (M2) ions to form a metal film on a surface of the organic film.

Half mirror and process for producing same

The present invention provides (i) a process for producing a metal film with which process a metal film and a metal pattern can be formed, at low cost, on an arbitrary substrate, (ii) a primer composition, (iii) a metal film, and (iv) use of the metal film. The process includes the steps of: forming an organic film with use of a primer composition which contains (i) an addition polymerizable compound including three or more reactive groups, (ii) an addition polymerizable compound including an acid group, (iii) an addition polymerizable compound including a basic group, and (iv) an addition polymerizable compound including a hydrophilic functional group; form a metal (M1) salt from the acid group; substituting the metal (M1) salt of the acid group with a metal (M2) salt by processing with a metal (M2) ion aqueous solution containing a metal (M2) ion which has a less ionization tendency than the metal (M1) ion; and reducing the metal (M2) ion so that a metal film is formed on a surface of the organic film.
